Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation on Wednesday signed an agreement to implement Digital Door Numbering (DDN) system in the city.
As per the DDN system, every household in the city would be given an alphanumeric number. It will be the first hand identification to locate, identify and track the houses.
In order to enable the people to adopt a smart way to find the house of a particular location, the uniform geo-tagging system of numbering is a user-friendly approach in growing cities like Bhubaneswar, said BMC Commissioner Prem Chandra Choudhary.
The process will be started within 15 days and it will take about 150 days for establishing the survey by the agency, said Deputy Commissioner, Revenue Srimanta Mishra. Though other cities in the country have adopted such process, it has been confined to a few clusters. But in Bhubaneswar, it will cover entire 67 Wards. In case of slums, there might be some deviations and alternatives, said Mishra.
An estimated Rs 3.97 crore will be spent for numbering as well as operation and maintenance while the contract has been signed for one year.
The agreement was signed between Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation and Navayuga Spatial Technologies Pvt Ltd & Zipper Pvt Ltd.
Deputy Commissioner Srimanata Mishara signed the agreement on behalf of BMC while Samarandra Kumar Sahoo, Assistant General Manager of Navayuga Spatial Technologies Pvt Ltd & Zipper Pvt Ltd signed on behalf of the two agencies.
